Mythic Narrative and Cultural History

Bill Moyers interviews Joseph Campbell

With mythic narratives as the loom, so to speak, Joseph Campbell's scholarly corpus provides a blueprint for how the various fields of the humanities can be woven together to reveal a rich tapestry of the emergence of humanity. This website follows Campbell's approach, marrying the traditional arts-humanities with some innovative methods of the digital humanities, to uncover new insights and give fresh perspectives on the relationship between culture and consciousness.

Fairy tales on the other hand come from different sources and one of these is the folk psyche. They can be eloquent of unconscious processes in the collective-psyche of the populace.New Section:Fairy Tales.
